IGT, 6/2/2011, Piracy vs. Metropolisness

[Guest Edgy DC]

Let me show you how it's done, you amateurs. We have Paul Maholm taking on a wickedly angry Mike Pelfrey. Drink? It'll flow. Blood? It'll spill.

Bienvenidos, Jose.

[Fman99]

I smell victory. Or french toast sticks. They smell identical to me.

Mets

Reyes, SS
8 other guys.

(Reyes-SS, Turner-3B, Beltran-RF, Bay-LF, Pagan-CF, Paulino-C, Evans-1B, Tejada-2B, Pelfrey-RHP)

A split with the Pirates would be nice. Losing 3 of 4 to the Bucs just looks bad...even if they are a pretty comparable team to the Mets record-wise.

The winning streak starts NOW!

[Guest Edgy DC]

1. Paul, lf
2. Harrison, 3b
3. McCutchen, cf
4. Walker, 2b
5. Overbay, 1b

That's not Victor DEE-az in right but Matt DYE-az. Let's go, Mets.

Brought my gay-dame hot dogs to work... just waiting to nuke 'em.

That would've been a pretty good idea. i had rubbery pasta and broccoli. I could've filled my travel mug with a beer, had some hot dogs..

[ashie62]

Play this gay-dame for the honor of Bar Rafaeli.

[ashie62]

Pirates at it again with the dink n' dunk 1-0

[bmfc1]

Look what you did. I came here to go nuts after that lousy call and 2 hits but Bar Rafeli distracted me and I'm fine now. Thanks.

Windy day here. Tons of debris already in left field. #mets

DavidWaldstein
You referring to the $66 M left fielder?

[TransMonk]

Christ...16 minutes later, it's 3-0 Bucs.

Bloop...bloop...bloop.

[metirish]

It'll be funny soon how every ball for the Pirates falls in......fucks sake

[bmfc1]

Way to step-up Pelfrey. A little bad luck and adversity and he crumbles. He was talked about as trade bait but who would want him?

[ashie62]

Lets see if the Mets show "quit" today if this gets out of hand.

[metirish]

I think Willets is there today with his son, what do you tell the kid about this debacle of a squad?

Want to hit the shake shack?

They're really an exciting young team with a good amount of potential. The only problem is the lack of money means they don't have much depth; if any of their good young outfielders or talented young pitchers get hurt, there's nobody there to replace them. By the time he's coming into his own as a fan, he'll be proud to wear the hat to school.

(Oh, wait. You mean the Mets. Nah, they're hopeless.)

[bmfc1]

Ronny Paulino makes me long for Henry Blanco.

Ha!



luckily CF has the kiddie filed to play in.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Holy hell, 6-zip already.

Big Pelf back to Bad Pelf.

We absolutely suck at home.

[TransMonk]

I hat baseball.

[seawolf17]

At least they won't have a seventh-inning lead to blow.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I hate when I forget that the Mets are playing, and then get that sudden happy realization that there's a game on, and by the time I check in the Mets are down 6-0 in the second inning.

I hate that!

[metirish]

Jason Bay = waster.

Maybe he still thinks he's a Pirate.

Walks kill...or in this case, mutilate what is already dead.

a lot of this went over my head but I think it adds up to Bay = waster

[TransMonk]

Boom-Boom goes Beltran to cut the lead almost in half. 7-3 Bucs.

[Ceetar]

basically. It basically means he's just not seeing/hitting the inside pitches, particularly the balls up in the zone that he used to absolutely crush.
